Creating a custom game

With the unpackgame and packgame programs of the Wasteland Suite you can create you own custom game files for wasteland. This tutorial shows you some steps for creating a new game (If you want to call it a game...) from the ground up.

• Step 1: Create skeleton game files
• Step 2: Adding a simple print action
• Step 3: Making squares impassable
• Step 4: Making loot bags
• Step 5: Creating transitions
• Step 6: Checking for skills, attributes and items
• Step 7: Creating dialogues
• Step 8: Changing tiles
• Step 9: Altering multiple squares
• Step 10: Adding random encounters
• Step 11: Adding fixed encounters
• Step 12: Creating NPCs
• Step 13: Adding a store

For further details I recommend you unpack the original game files and study them to learn how to do complicated stuff like the jeep on the world map or the train in Needles.
